WinXP is much less likely to jam than Win 9X. NTFS is a much more stable
file system than Fat32/16. In the unlikely event WinXP jams you can use
the recovery console to fix most anything - Just like good ol dos. See
http://www.langa.com/newsletters/2006/2006-06-22.htm#2 for example. There
are many KB articles at Microsoft.com that cover this. I use Gparted live
CD to work with partitions.
